NHLE Scoring Leaderboard 10/30

The international scoring race is something to behold. The scoreboards are filling up internationally, and thanks to the work of Gabe Desjardins we can compare the scoring rates across leagues. Using Gabe’s NHL equivalencies I’ve put together the top scorers in all of the hockey world. All Major Junior, AHL, KHL, SEL, DEL, SMLIGA, and Swiss league scorers are considered. The NCAA wasn’t included this time due to how few games they’ve played, but if the lockout drags on they’ll be included in the near future.

The current world leading scorer is, you guessed it, Martin Ruzicka. Ok, maybe you didn’t guess it. The full top 50 is after the jump.

*I left Patrice Bergeron, Henrik Zetterberg, Danny Briere and Claude Giroux on the list despite only playing four to five games each. The reasoning is that their scoring has been so prolific internationally this year, and they have a history of NHL success to suggest it isn’t a complete fluke.

* Rounding out the Top 50 are Justin Hodgman and Kevin Dallman from the KHL at an NHLE of 61.

Marc-Andre Fleury is having an unbelievable postseason. His current Sv% of .947 doesn’t just lead all goalies in these playoffs, it’s actually the highest Sv% of any goalie in a playoff year since the 1960s (min 8 games) …with one important caveat: he has one round yet to play. I think the biggest question heading into the…
